So I have been learning all about using appliers these past few weeks. I found the E-VOLVE ones very easy to use, but when it came down to the more complicated Mesh Body, Sapphira… the one & only in InWorldz, I believe. Well I needed a bit of help from the Creator & it took me a while to understand how to use them correctly. Now though its plain sailing… apart from, I have learnt that I need to be more accurate with my layer textures, I have always been a bit sloppy, you know leaving things long & using the system to shorten lengths etc Now its a whole new ball game, my recent designs have pristine layer textures, coz ya just can’t alter them once they are on the Mesh body 😉

I have found renewed inspiration for my designs too, I find myself designing for the Mesh body, I have always loved layers, now I simply adore them. All of my new designs have been created for use with the appliers. It takes a lot more time though, bagging everything up before you can release them. I have loads of new designs waiting, which just need bagging before they can be released.

Life as a creator in any world is not an easy one, but it is so enjoyable

So Grateful to Rosie Lavochkin for her E-VOLVE appliers, which I have had in my inventory from year dot I think & only just rediscovered! I can use the appliers on her demo’s… Yayyy. I am still unsure how I process this for outfits which have more than 1 shirt/pants/undies etc But I can now proceed with the E-VOLVE appliers for those outfits which only have 1 shirt/pants/undies 😉

Rosie Lavochkin provides a really great Developers kit for her E-VOLVE appliers for her Mesh Bunz & Breasts, she provides everything that is needed. A Demo that works with the applier, a logo for your posters & clear instructions on How to

I cannot say that I am comfortable on any viewer at the moment, I keep skipping between IWV2 & IWV3 & the latest firestorm… none of them feel comfortable. I tried the latest Alchemy Viewer as I heard that was the one now being used for all future IW Viewers… erm WHY???? Its like stepping back in time! No built in AO, can’t back up, can’t find nothing, certainly can’t build on it… if that is the future path for all Inworldz Viewers, well I guess I have to stop using InWorldz viewers.

I have started saving back some of my gardening features as primomesh, because none of the V3’s seem able to rez some of the maps, they rez the default, which is pants! I am aware though that not every resident of IW can use a V3, I couldn’t until I got my new laptop, so I don’t want to turn everything Mesh, I will have to find a happy medium 😉

I haven’t tried the texture thingy that everyone has been raving about, I did try to texture something yesterday using firestorm & i was like wtf! I couldn’t flip it, I could see no way of flipping, the flipping the texture :p So I logged in on a V2 & fixed it!

I don’t understand why all the shaders in all of the v2’s are now greyed out so that I cannot apply them, I know I used them on my old lappy

I am torn over this new InWorldz V3. Somethings I do like, but a lot of it I totally dislike, problem is, once used, its kinda hard to go back to a V2 😦

I tried them all none of them came up to scratch..

I had been on IWV2 beta still on my old lappy, but … and I had not noticed this before… all the shaders etc in preferences are greyed out, you can’t apply them, so the world looks kind of dull compared to how it looks on the V3

On the V3 though, a lot of my sculpts are sort of broken… they do not rez at all. Even after applying the LOD 4, it seems to be the very old maps, you know before any alpha layer has been applied, when they were just colours… those seem to be the ones that the V3 just does not rez, so I am walking around my gardens & I see bare trees everywhere or my fields of grass are big balls, most annoying!

A really annoying thing too is that I still have OLD LM’s stuck on my favourites… I delete them they come back on a relog…. still have the very old clothes attached to my avie when I go into appearance too, which drives me nuts & has been doing so for the last 4 years.

I don’t like the chat window, I don’t like the inventory folders all being black or grey. I can’t find the AO so have had to go back to actually wearing one, I am sure there is a ctrl thing I have to do to get that AO up??

I suppose I will get used to this V3… overtime, but really do they have to change everything so drastically so that you have to go to re-learn school each time?

Like this:

On my return I quickly rezzed out my old stores & filled them as fast as I could. Over the last dew days I have been thinking about changing things, the layout, the decor, even the buildings. In all of the years I have been in VW’s my main focus has always been fashion. I do create other things, like furniture & landscapes, I just don’t seem to Market those as much as I do my Fashion store. In the past I have always just placed furniture upstairs in my Main store, last year I copied my store & placed the furniture in its own place, but still not really focusing on it. Now I have purposely built a Furniture store, where I can place out all of my furniture & Furnishings on display. Lots of room for me to fill with lovely new creations I am working on 😉

A few years ago, after the freebies were removed from IDI (welcome center), Wolf-Tek created the Freebie Ring. I have always used it dotted around my region & it has brought lots of residents in to it. However there are only a handful of Merchants/land owners actually using it. Considering that the main cry by most in IW is that there are no people about, or ‘no one ever comes to my region’ it really surprises me that there are not more using this vital FREE tool for bringing residents to your Region. It is so easy to set up & use, there is a website where Residents can look to see where the freebies are & what is on offer, or they can just use the inworld ring to jump from one to the other.

About Me

Hi my name is Rosa Dagostino & I have been an InWorldz Resident since April 12th 2009. I started this blog 1stly on ning in April 2009 after my blogging about InWorldz was beginning to take over my then Store blog! I was amongst the 1st Mentors chosen to Greet new Residents to our world. I no longer have time for Mentoring though it has never stopped me from helping anyone who needs it. I dont get around the grid as much as I did in the beginning but I still like to Blog about my Fave Grid, so here it is & here i try to bring you ongoing problems/stories/links & whatever else I can do, to show that InWorldz is the best place to be!
